The Census BU!.
When the General Appropriation
bill was passed iu the House, that
body added to it an~?ppropriati?n of
$25.000 for taking tire census.' The
Senate would not agree to this and
retumeA-iheJiilLtft-^the House sher
of thia feature. Upjon this there was
quiteji disouas:on as to whether th
Hons? ahould recede or stand firm
Mr. Ready, Mr. Folk and Mr. Jones
voted to stand firm, Mr. Blackwell
voted to concur in the action of th
S?nate. '}?: ?! 1
On this question Mr. Ready ws3
allowed th*$? mir&teafand he made
an effective talk. ?He nrg'ed the mern
bera to be firm. The House waa clear
ly in the right and should not give
way. Colonel Folk delivered a very
impressive speech in support of tbs
action of tho House, s He did not be
lieve in weighing the question by ex
pediency or by dollars and cents. Th?
Constitution upheld the House, and
he would never consent to back out
' ~*ecli?f8e of the c?ns?aerations which
had b?en urged.
Farmer Tillman, who has been pub
1 rahing some very strong articles upon
the management of.the Sooth Caro
lina Collleg? and the Agricultural De
partment, continues to hold his own
j. retty well against the big guns fired
at him by the friends and officials of
these institutions. They thought each
time they replied to him that he
would be annihilated and wonld not
dare to raise bis head again, but he
has'raisad it, and has torn the bark
off of them in his replies. He has
truth and justice on his Side and we
want to see him " hold the fort" to
the end.-Camden Journal.

comfortably seated aa in ordinary
cara, which are 10 feet 2 inches over

One of the most remarkable suicides
repoited lately is that of Mr. John
Webster, near Shelby, N. C. Mr.
Webster waa a very modest young
mau. ; .Laat. Friday tveuiug when he
returned from a dance the room which
he had occupied for roontlw had been
given for the night to three young la
dies. Unaware of thia be entered the
room and found two ol the girla dis
robed. Thia greatly confused him.
"Ile madeproliisenpoiogiefl and retired.
The blunder weighed upon bia mind
to such an extent that he determined
to kill himself rather than live to face
the young ladies and the community.
The friends of Mr. Webster are in
clined to think he carried bin modest
scruples a little too far.
